Permits consumers aged 65 and over up to five business days to cancel home improvement contracts.
This bill extends the cancellation period for home improvement contracts to seniors aged 65 and older. It allows these consumers to cancel any home improvement contract for any reason within five business days (instead of the current three days) after receiving the signed contract. Contractors must include a clear notice in the contract stating this extended window and require full refunds within 30 days of cancellation. The change directly affects seniors entering home improvement agreements over $500, providing them additional time to review contracts without penalty.
